Emilia Clarke ‘overwhelmed’ by fans support after opening up about aneurysms
Emilia Clarke, who recently revealed about her battle with brain aneurysms that nearly took her life, says she is “overwhelmed” and “profoundly moved” after fans and followers came forward in her support.The “Game of Thrones” star on Saturday took to Instagram to express gratitude towards the audience after she shared her secret health scare in an essay for The New Yorker, which she faced soon after the success of the first season of the HBO epic-fantasy drama.In the video, the actor said, “The response to my story has been overwhelming – and deeply and profoundly moving. Thank you so much.” Clarke said she was surprised how many people resonated with her story.”A million million thank you’s to everyone who has read shared and sent love for my story, it’s a beautiful thing to behold and I can’t quite believe how many of you this has affected!” she wrote as the caption.The actor also tagged her charity, SameYou, which is dedicated to increasing access to rehabilitation after brain injury and stroke for young people.”@sameyouorg is ready to hear your stories, how you recovered and what could have made that recovery experience better. By hearing your stories we can build a case for an improved aftercare experience for all in the future… who wouldn’t want that!” Clarke further said.
In The New Yorker essay, which published online last week, the actor said just before she assumed her role as Daenerys Targaryen in 2011, she started feeling a “shooting, stabbing, constricting pain” in her head during a workout with her trainer.
